Hi,
I've recently been having fun repairing headphones and headsets, bought in joblots off ebay.
There have been some lucky finds, with several really nice cans just needing a broken jack replacing or an internal wire re-soldering.
The thing I always dread though is finding a dead driver, as there's nothing I can do, other than replace the most valuable part of headphones. Fortunately this is quite rare, with the failure point often being something else.
Alas this is the fate that awaits a pair of otherwise quite tidy Audio-Technica ATH-M40x headphones.
If possible I would appreciate any recommendations for 40mm drivers to look out for that would give comparable or even slightly improved monitor like soundstage.
